As a side note, we are adding a new set terminal command and terminal
attribute so that the user can select BACKSPACE == DELETE. That is, treat
backspace (^H) as a rubout as well as delete as a rubout. I think it's in
V7.3-2, I know it will be in the IA64 release (dunno if it made it into
7.3-2 offhand). The function key to get to the start of the current line
will still work normally even when this mode is set.
